Many consider that constantly being late for appointments indicates immaturity or even constitutes a serious problem, as chronic tardiness can lead to serious consequences.

However, according to a report published on the Your Tango website, a recent study suggests that being late to work may actually be a positive trait.

Scientists from Harvard University conducted research and showed that people who suffer from a lack of punctuality feel less stressed.

These people work in a calmer and more collected way than people who stick to time precisely, and in the end, a feeling of inner peace and calm leads to an increase in life expectancy.

Researchers at Harvard reported that an optimistic outlook early in life can predict better health and a lower death rate over follow-up periods of 15 to 40 years.

In addition, calm people - even if they are chronically late - show fewer signs of high blood pressure and heart disease, and researchers suggest that optimism protects the heart and circulation.

People who cannot stand the thought of arriving late cannot understand how others remain calm while rushing. They usually take pride in punctuality, and thrive when they feel prepared and well organized. However, chaos makes them panic, and being late makes their blood boil.

According to the Wall Street Journal, people who suffer from chronic tardiness lack the ability to accurately plan their time, and about 40% of people actually suffer from this trait.

Also, many people are late because they are trying to multitask to the point that they cannot fully manage their time, and this affects their ability to cope accurately and distracts them.

Ultimately, delay appears to affect each individual in different ways, and results in it taking more time to complete tasks according to the study.
